Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] git-fetch.txt: document fetch output
Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2016 18:08:41 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160603110843.15434-2-pclouds@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160603110843.15434-1-pclouds@gmail.com>
This documents the ref update status of fetch. The structure of this
output is defined in [1]. The ouput content is refined a bit in [2]
[3] [4].
This patch is a copy from git-push.txt, modified a bit because the
flag '-' means different things in push (delete) and fetch (tag
update). We probably should unify the documents at some point in
future.
PS. For code archaeologists, the discussion mentioned in [1] is
probably [5].

+OUTPUT
+------
+
+The output of "git fetch" depends on the transport method used; this
+section describes the output when pushing over the Git protocol
+(either locally or via ssh).
+
+The status of the push is output in tabular form, with each line
+representing the status of a single ref. Each line is of the form:
+
+-------------------------------
+ <flag> <summary> <from> -> <to> (<reason>)
+-------------------------------
+
+The status of up-to-date refs is shown only if --verbose option is
+used.
+
+flag::
+ A single character indicating the status of the ref:
+(space);; for a successfully fetched fast-forward;
+`+`;; for a successful forced update;
+`x`;; for a successfully deleted ref;
+`-`;; for a successful tag update;
+`*`;; for a successfully fetched new ref;
+`!`;; for a ref that was rejected or failed to update; and
+`=`;; for a ref that was up to date and did not need fetching.
+
+summary::
+ For a successfully fetched ref, the summary shows the old and new
+ values of the ref in a form suitable for using as an argument to
+ `git log` (this is `<old>..<new>` in most cases, and
+ `<old>...<new>` for forced non-fast-forward updates).
+
+from::
+ The name of the remote ref being fetched from, minus its
+ `refs/<type>/` prefix. In the case of deletion, the name of
+ the remote ref is "(none)".
+
+to::
+ The name of the local ref being updated, minus its
+ `refs/<type>/` prefix.
+
+reason::
+ A human-readable explanation. In the case of successfully fetched
+ refs, no explanation is needed. For a failed ref, the reason for
+ failure is described.
